A new bill will allow a person to be tried and convicted of a criminal offence without seeing all the information relied on by the Crown and without the right to be present, the NZ Law Society says.

Many lawyers announce their departure from firms with the usual memo detailing why they’ve resolved to leave. However, others (like this Big Law partner who did it with a music video) are not afraid to be unconventional.

Sometimes, that decision turns the mundane departure memo into gold like this one written by an associate who just recently quit from an international law firm.

According to an Above the Law report, the memo is from a former Kirkland & Ellis associate who had worked at the firm for nearly a year.

Here’s the full text of the former associate’s quirky departure letter:
